Depends on where you are buying and where you are titling the vehicle. It also depends on whether the vehicle is new or used, and whether it has a title in the place where you bought it.
I had the old title in my hand the day I chose to buy my last vehicle, and made my title application the next day when I had proof of insurance. I've also had to wait up to two months for paperwork in another state to clear, before I could get a title in my own state. That one involved paying off a lien to get the title from the lien holder (my own state does not do it that way).
Once the application is sent in, here I usually get an new title in less than a week, as soon as my excise tax check clears. I've bought in another state where a vehicle does not leave the dealer without at least a temporary title.
Are you asking how long to get an old title on a used vehicle, or how long to process a title transfer or a new title? For a used vehicle, that is two different steps, and the time it takes depends on the procedures used by each state involved.
